The Lucille Ball Memorial Park in Celeron, New Yor

The Lucille Ball Memorial Park in Celeron, New York sits adjacent to the @chautauquaharborhotel (images 4-8), a lakeside gem on historic #Chautauqua Lake (images 2-3).
The actress turned studio owner grew up in the Western New York town, a suburb of #Jamestown, #NewYork (where she was born). In Jamestown, the @ntlcomedycenter is accompanied by the @lucydesimuseum, both serving as a legacy to the life and achievements of the comedian immortalized by #ILoveLucy.
The recently constructed resort hotel is centrally located between the #Buffalo/ #NiagaraFalls region, #Cleveland and #Pittsburgh. Ideal for buyouts - one upcoming in a few weeks - the property has a selection of indoor and outdoor spaces that can host an array of #business #meetings & #events as well as #weddings and other gatherings.

@visitbmore's President & CEO Al Hutchinson, is showcasing #CharmCity this week for Destinations International's #AC21Baltimore at the @baltimoreconventioncenter.
#Baltimore is easily accessible and the Mid-Atlantic city's strategic location makes it a favored destination for #eventprofs and perennial #FandDmag Prime Site Award-winner.

The #GoldenGateBridge
Following up on a successful return of #eventprofs to face-to-face meetings at @caesarsmeansbusiness' #CAESARSFORUM, @meetingprofessionalsintl will hold its 2022 event in #SanFrancisco.
#FandDMag's photographer captured this image last January during #PCMACL, held at the then newly expanded #MeetinSF @mosconecenter.

#art from #Jerusalem's @israel_museum.
The #artwork consists of hundreds of panels that reach across the color spectrum, each moderating ever so slightly that compared to the adjacent panel its difference is not visible to the naked eye. Yet, as each changes it creates the rainbow seen in the image. Food for thought...
We visited the #museum to see galleries that could be used to host #events as part of a fam trip a few years ago to learn about the historic city's array of unique #meeting spaces, modern and ancient. #Israel announced it is open for vaccinated travelers as of July 1, 2021.

As #travel returns post-pandemic, this @fazzinopopart mural of #NYC landmarks will become more familiar to passengers arriving in @jfkairport.
We snapped this image a few weeks ago returning on our first flight since January 2020!

The perfect outfits for #Cinderella’s #glass slippers… Glass #dresses - although the second might be a bit risqué. (With the #fashion theme abound in @disney’s new #Cruella movie, perhaps a combination of the two dresses might work…)
The @corningmuseum of Glass features thousands of years worth of glass artifacts and artistry, as well as exhibitions on how glassmaking has evolved over the millennia. #eventprofs looking for a regional summer site to plan events in #upstatenewyork might reflect upon the area surrounding Corning and its nearby #FingerLakes.

Show me the #monkey...
We visited the #PanamaCanal and took an excursion into the @gamboareserve with a local guide, who took us past freighter ships into some of the areas where #wildlife is in abundance.
It would seem that this primate’s catching ability (image 2, video) rivals that of some infielders and wide receivers...

Private beach...
#eventprofs know the value of #business #travel during "low-season." While this #blacksand #beach was not truly exclusively our's - nor the #pool - lucky timing combined with a great destination and facilities will create many memories in the years ahead.

This #sculpture, surrounded by #red #flowers and coconut palms caught my eye.
Although not currently on assignment, it’s hard not to appreciate this resort. In addition to indoor function space near the hotel, its seemingly endless, spacious grounds can be utilized for outdoor #events. #Panama’s @buenaventuraresort is a site for #eventprofs to consider when business resumes.

Rocking in #Miami...
No matter what your pace, be it rocking chair, the new @hardrockholly, or @hardrockstadium, Miami is set for the return of meetings & live events.

#Night #bulbs
Annually @fundforparkavenue beautifies the famous #NYC thoroughfare with seasonal #flowers and #artwork. Got a glimpse of these #tulips this evening on East 59th Street, another popular location situated between @theplazahotel and @bloomingdales.
Hopeful the #Springtime blooms are a good omen of things to come for #eventprofs!

During #GMID21, journalists were given an opportunity to tour #LasVegas’ new @allegiantstadium.
As #eventprofs that attended @pcmahq’s #pcmacl in #SanFrancisco, #Pittsburgh and #Nashville have experienced in recent years, stadiums and arenas have great spaces to host a broad array of #meetings and #events. #VegasMeansBusiness in this “arena” as well.

#Biking around the town of @celebration.florida, we encountered local #wildlife including an #alligator, #egret and #owl.
For #eventprofs returning to #Orlando, an extended stay warrants a visit to Celebration. The town provides attendees an opportunity to enjoy dining, to take in the architecture of its homes around the city that channel a time gone by, and have a more old-fashioned type of escape while on vacation.

The Washington Monument, earlier tonight.
A popular site for association gatherings - among the myriad of business events @destinationdc attracts - #eventprofs and attendees enjoy experiencing the city’s #monuments, #museums, #arts and cultural offerings when their convenings disperse.

A visit to @jurassicworld at @universalorlando provides guests an opportunity to take a raft ride through #JurassicPark, experience pre-historic #dinosaur life in a tropical climate and potentially cool off prior to returning to the #themepark.
With #health and wellness protocols In place, including masks being required throughout all areas of the parks, social distancing measures and constant hand sanitizer dispensing in each ride, guests have returned en masse to @visitorlando during this “Trifecta” week of #springbreak, #Easter & #Passover holiday #travel.
#eventprofs no doubt are itching to return to #Orlando and its facilities seem eager and ready to welcome groups. Experience at major venues with safety procedures in place since reopening in mid-2020 put the Central #Florida destination at the forefront of rebooting the #meetings & #events industry in the months ahead.
